Coface Arena - Mainz, Germany

The Coface Arena in Mainz is home of the first FSV Mainz soccer club and can accommodate over 34,000 spectators. Traxon Technologies helps FSV Mainz pride shine brightly by illuminating the entire stadium façade in the team’s signature red color. 500 Traxon Liner Shield AC XB fixtures with custom red housing and red LEDs were installed on the stadium’s exterior in November 2011. The ultra-bright luminaires, which richly wash the building façade over 15 meters high, are linked to a PC within the building’s automation system, and to an e:cue Lighting Control Engine (LCE) and a Butler, which manage the different lighting scenarios during the crowd arrival and entrance time, game time, and post-game exiting of the venue. Designed to accommodate architectural exteriors where a rich, even wash or graze is necessary, the Liner Shield AC XB’s IP66 rating renders it a strong solution for exterior façade illumination. Visible from a long distance and from every direction, the red illumination welcome it visitors. The dynamic façade solution was also recognized in the German Lighting Designer Awards 2013.
